I hope everyone who celebrates had a great Easter. Cream egg! An essential Easter treat is Cadbury eggs. I love the Cadbury cream eggs. I love the mini eggs. I received a sample of this recently. Maybe the magic is in a single fresh teabag because this tastes like a luscious cream egg to me! I was a little worried with this jasmine being here… I thought it would ruin it. And there isn’t really a creamy component to the tea… like marshmallow or something. That would make it a little too much like their Easter Egg Nests blend. This is very similar but without the green tea, which means it is much smoother. Cocoa shells for delicious chocolate flavor. However, somehow the second steep does have a bit of a bite to it… so pretty much just like Easter Egg Nests. I like this one! But again, it’s probably the magic of the single wrapped teabag and it needs to be a bit more special than just chocolate. I already have a ton of Easter Egg Nests in stock.
Steep #1 // 20 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3 min

Rethinking this though, and having a fresh cadbury egg, a cream egg is actually way more of the cream sugar bits than the chocolate bits, and without that middle part of the egg represented in the tea, and only a bit of a chocolate flavor, this is a bit of a fail of a tea blend.
